Espduino + TMC2209 + CNC shield

[@jon_raymond]

Great video and well done working through the issues. Had a good laugh at the bloopers at the end :)

likewise...👍 end was good...☺️

Fantastic bro!! Thanks a lot for the useful video and a neat and crisp presentation!!

[@406FPV]

wow this is awesome as I have 3 of these after upgrading to the 6 pack now I can bring them back to life!!

[@br0sys]

Thanks for your work!! I'm gonna give it a try with tmc2209 after the holy days (and having some fruitloops) 🎉

[@fharni]

Thanks for this great video. Have you done any changes to the config between the DRV and TMC drivers?

[@fuzzy4logic]

Thanks 👍 I don't think there is a difference between the two, config file wise. Just the pullup as described in the video

[@fharni]

@@fuzzy4logic THank you. It works great, except the boot loop when 12v is pluged in before usb. Otherwise it works now great. I also added the 10k resistor between EN and GND like shown in you video. Any ideas to this?

[@alexchiosso221]

Excellent Video and a smiley end as a plus. :-)

BTW The ESPduino power connector handles up to 18 volts, in theory you could use the same power for the ESPduino and CNC motors. I was wondering if you tried this and what was your experience with it

[@fuzzy4logic]

I've tried it with 12 volts but the regulator got pretty hot. Because it is just a linear regulator, the remaining power gets turned into heat. I use mainly buck/burst converters now

[@raguaviva]

Thanks for this, it works like a charm

[@alexeychu]

how you configurate microsteps on shield with tmc2209?

[@dnvm84]

Thank you for the video. I was wondering if there was a way to get a copy of your config file? Since all of this is new to me it would be helpful to have an example to work with.👍

[@fuzzy4logic]

Check out the description. There is a link to my gitlab repository

[@dnvm84]

@@fuzzy4logic Wow thank you. I looked right at it but thought it was for FluidNC github page.

[@ekoharyanto8176]

amazing, what if I want to add an SD card, any suggestions on which gpio to use? i need to run a cnc machine

[@fuzzy4logic]

Here you go ;) wiki.fluidnc.com/en/config/sd_card Just map it to the native spi pins of the espduino

Hello mate, I have an issue with the ESPduino while using the CNC shield on top of it. I used to connect the uC with UGS normally with the CNC shield on top of the ESPduino with no problem, but now there's something strange. I can't connect it with shield on top, just without it and then adding it on top. Do you know what's the issue or where to start looking at? I'm currently using TB6600 drivers, CNC shield (same version as you), and ESPduino Wemos D1 R32 I made connection with a regular ESP32 with no issues and monday morning I'm gonna make a test with a CNC shield based for Arduino Nano using a ESP32 Nano instead. Hope you're doing it ok, I enjoy the quality of the info you give. Hoping for an answers, greetings from Perú. Sorry for my bad english btw

[@fuzzy4logic]

This sounds like a pullup/pulldown issue. Check the boot output over serial to see if it is stuck. Some pins configure the flash voltage of the esp during boot and having pullups/pulldowns can really mess things up. You can remove the resistor on the cnc shield to see if it improves things. No bad english in sight ;)

Of course I like this video and I'm even going to subscribe to the channel. I'm dreaming of building myself a precise Pen plotter, and I'm sure all this information will be invaluable to my project.

i've been trying for several days to get the esp32 with a pin breakout board to work with stepper drivers (dm542t).. which i have succeeded once.. but now nothing seems to be working... i don't have the proper electronic testing equipment like you seem to have.. but the enable pin (gpio.17) does work when doing $me or $md.. but when sending a signal .. no dice. any chance you have an idea of what could be going on? and also you on any discord server or?

[@fuzzy4logic]

Hey, send me an email, let's talk

[@FlixmyswitchLASER]

Enjoy your vids

[@noom9081]

Tank for you ❤❤

I made a discovery. When downloading his config file. Click on the link and download using the download "button" if you download the first link its going to be HTML code inside of the config.yaml file. That threw me for a loop getting config file issues until I opened it in a TXT editor and said W.T.F.???
